Gombisa Framework: Five Pillars for Migration, Integration and Development
1. Agency and Co-Creation
At the center of Gombisa’s work is the belief that migrants are not passive recipients of assistance but active contributors and co-designers of solutions.
Migrants bring knowledge, skills, and lived experience that shape programs, initiatives, and community solutions.
Through participatory approaches, dialogue, and collaboration, Gombisa ensures that migrants contribute to designing services and initiatives that reflect their real needs and aspirations.
2. Integration and Belonging
Successful migration requires more than basic support. It requires opportunities for people to feel safe, connected, and valued in society.
Gombisa promotes integration by supporting:
• access to education and training
• social participation and community networks
• cultural exchange and mutual understanding
Our goal is to help migrants build meaningful lives and contribute to thriving communities.
3. Career Pathways and Economic Opportunity
Meaningful work and financial security are essential to dignity and long-term integration.
Gombisa supports migrants in navigating the labour market through:
• career orientation and professional mentoring
• connections with employers and institutions
• skills development and training opportunities
By strengthening economic participation, migrants can contribute to both local economies and global development.
4. Mobility and Informed Choices
Migration journeys are dynamic and often involve multiple transitions.
Gombisa promotes informed and voluntary decision-making, helping migrants explore opportunities both in Germany and beyond.
This includes information and guidance on:
• further education or professional development
• international mobility opportunities
• voluntary return and reintegration pathways
The focus is always on self-determined choices and access to reliable information.
5. Migration and Development
Migration connects societies, economies, and communities across borders.
Gombisa promotes cooperation between Germany and countries of origin through:
• diaspora engagement
• knowledge exchange
• development partnerships
• reintegration support
Migrants are powerful agents of development who can contribute to sustainable growth in both host societies and their countries of origin.
